How Florida companies register with Idaho

We prepare and file the registration
It names us as your Idaho registered agent, with your Florida name and formation date. If Idaho wants the Florida certificate, it is ordered first. After approval, your Florida corporation is registered with Idaho.

Your Florida name and Idaho's rules

If another Idaho company uses the Florida name, an alternate name is allowed. We search Idaho's records for Florida's name on file before anything is filed.

Agents: Idaho and Florida

Florida and Idaho both call it a registered agent. Idaho papers come to us; Florida's agent is unchanged.

Staying in good standing in Florida and Idaho

Each year your corporation files Florida's Annual Report ($150) and Idaho's Annual Report (no fee). With our $149 registered agent renewal, Florida plus Idaho comes to $299 a year. The new registration does not replace any home-state filing.

LLC or corporation, Florida to Idaho

An LLC formed in Florida files its own registration with Idaho ($103.50 in state fees, the same, plus the Certificate of Status ($5)). After that come Florida's Annual Report ($138.75) and Idaho's Annual Report (no fee). See the LLC filing.

Registering an Idaho company in Florida

Common questions: Florida to Idaho

Does my Florida company need to register in Idaho?

Yes, once a Florida business operates there; Idaho registers it as a foreign corporation.

Is this a certificate of authority?

Idaho calls it registration for Florida corporations; other states say certificate of authority.

How much does the Idaho registration cost?

$302.50 at checkout; Idaho may also want Florida's Certificate of Status, at extra cost.

How long does the Idaho registration take?

Idaho's standard processing takes about 3 to 5 days from the date of filing, plus time for Florida's certificate if Idaho asks for it. Paid expedite: $40.

What are the yearly costs for Florida and Idaho?

$299 a year: our $149 registered agent renewal, $150 to Florida and nothing to Idaho for the yearly reports.

Does Idaho require a registered agent?

Yes: the Florida registered agent stays, and ours covers Idaho for year one, with a street address there.

Will Idaho accept my Florida name?

Yes, if no company there has it; if one does, it uses an alternate name there and keeps its Florida name at home.

Can I form a new Idaho corporation instead?

Yes, but Florida keeps the original, so you run two companies: the new one files Idaho's Annual Report (no fee), and the original keeps Florida's Annual Report.

How do I withdraw from Idaho later?

Florida companies leave by filing a Withdrawal of Foreign Registration Statement; until then, Idaho's report stays due alongside Florida's filings.
